Diane was rescued by Jesus the Messiah in 1967, and has been learning about his steadfast love and faithfulness ever since. Married to Steve since 1971, she continues to learn from him, and from her five sons, five daughters-in-law, fifteen granddaughters and five grandsons. She is retired from her work in higher education administration and is now able to focus on projects including writing, composing, gardening, hospitality, and praying with other grandmas. Through many years of varied ministry endeavors, Diane has experienced and witnessed the efficacy of the Bible and the power of the Holy Spirit in navigating the challenges of marriage, childrearing and professional life, and depends upon that efficacy and power in her counseling work.
